1. 

i got locked in some sort of loop Sep  5 09:39; mozilla kept saying "send request... transferring data.. sending request... etc" in the status bar

was on the page http://piece.stanford.edu/pod/meta/marea/?marea_id=1

PHPSESSIONID cookie was 30c316d702b9b6325a5203b33ce6357a

i was looking at document "orig glossary", and had clicked either "Revise" or "back (the browser back arrow)". 

it happened again later: replying to "i see  -  bshanks  -  Sep 04, 20:49" (i.e. I hit "reply to this message" and the loop started)
